“It’s not what you see, it’s how you see it.” The first time I heard this, I worked in an art gallery and took it literally. Now I understand — it applies to more than art. It applies to life. It’s the sleight of hand that alchemizes pain into power, and turns soul wounds into wisdom — the Jungian work of meeting your own shadow and coming back whole.

My current project, The Original Wound, is a multidimensional work of poetry, image, and narrative non-fiction. It celebrates life’s beauty, sorrow, and complexity, and honours the human spirit’s remarkable ability to heal, grow, and find its way home.

At the heart of me — and alive within my work — is a fundamental belief: there is boundless potential for transformation within all of us.
